He was fired from his job for arguing with people that women should be killed (stoned) for adultery.
He didn't need to behead his victim, and attempt to behead his second, he went beyond murder because Islam called for it.
Islam calls for it to strike fear in the hearts of non-Muslims.
Even if he didn't know it, this was an act of terrorism. This is what can happen to you for arguing against the Quran is the message.
Everyone knows this message, our media outlets openly tell us they are afraid to be 'insensitive' regarding Islam out of fear of violence.
Our governments openly enforce hate speech laws because Muslims can, will, and do kill us for saying anything about Islam they find distasteful.
A little of both, maybe. Alton Nolen does not seem like a stable character. He had a record of felony drug convictions, even before this. He may even have been on drugs when the committed this attack; I would not be surprised.
And then he is said to be a recent convert to Islam, but I do not know anything about that. Did he receive instruction on Islam, and if so, from whom? For all I know, he could simply have recited the Shahada and then called himself a Muslim. The fact that he beheaded a woman suggests strongly that his "Islam" if any, was of the terrorist kind. But he may or may not have had any contact with Islamist extremists.
Probably we will find out more as time goes on.
Jihadi attack from a African American Muslim influenced by ISIS.
Workplace murders are fairly common in the US disgruntled employees come with gun and open fire....we all know this...but they don't 'behead' people that is ISIS and local police said the criminal doing this was saying 'Islamic phrases'.
The Oklahoma beheader’s Muslim name is Jah’Keem Yisrael. His Facebook page (thanks to Pamela Geller) is all about Islam. It is not only full of Qur’anic and moral exhortations, but also several pictures of Yisrael at a local mosque. Watch for mosque officials to say they hardly knew him and to complain about “Islamophobia” and “backlash.” http://www.jihadwatch.org/2014/09/oklaho...
Just a local nut. Copycat murders are bound to happen now.
Every time there are murders out of the ordinary , there are copycats who will do the same.
Obama and the liberals, will call it, (work place violence).
A normal intelligent adult, will call it (terrorism).
The guys facebook page says it all.
Carry your gun, this incident is your license to carry. Screw begging the state for a permit. If you get caught tell them you want a jury trial and nothing else.
Jihad.
